Another good instalment, Paul
But, so far, everything Lois has done has been rather 'boring'. She goes someplace and looks around. Then she leaves, gets another clue, then goes someplace and looks around, then she leaves.
That's just not Lois. I know she needs to get some leads so she can find Clark, but the Lois we all know and love gets into trouble, no make that, TROUBLE.
Is she just walks out of that hospital, then the bad guys are dumber than ever. It's time for Lois to get herself into a little trouble here. Actually, she is far more likely to find Clark that way (from the 'inside' so to speak) than she is running around out in the real world. If this place is connected to Clark's captors, then if Lois gets captured, she might just find herself in a locked room next to Clarkie.
Tank (who thinks it's time Lois did what she's so good at... fall into trouble)
